What makes PH a unique social network? What do you think?

Hi PH fam! 👋 I was considering this yesterday, and I'd be very grateful to know what you think. Unlike, say, social networks like Facebook/Instagram, etc, Product Hunt is really positive. Everyone's excited and supportive of each other's building journeys and looking for ways to create value for each other with products. I am guessing that this must tie back to many design and incentives related decisions that the PH team has taken over the years, such as, say, adding the Visit Streaks board or setting up the Golden Kitty awards. I wonder if this is documented somewhere. I would love to hear your thoughts. What do you think is the main feature of the social network on PH that makes it unique? Also, if you've read so far. Thank you so much. At WorkHack, we're launching our first product next week. Here's our Coming Soon page. Would love your support and feedback as fellow builders. Here's the link: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@jonathantahiry Yes, 100% agree. Far less spam, especially on the Community side of things than any other.

I think the number of people who do business and share their experience. What do others think?

@ipaparazzo_app @ixord yes, unlike a LinkedIn where its mostly about celebrating wins to be followed and liked, here sharing your experience is key. It really does make it wholesome.

On this social media people need upvote to grown and if they want these upvotes they need to be sharing either support or good infos. thanks to this Product HUNT is a community full of positivity with passionate people. because its not as easy as other media to use. We are all here to learn and that's beautiful !

@ipaparazzo_app Thank you for your comments Loane. I definitely agree that Product Hunt is not as easy to use. Guess it might be because the team is focused on the bigger mission of building a space for Makers.
